Lessons from the 2019-20 ‘Black Summer’ Bushfires
Climate change-fuelled extreme weather events are only going to become more severe and frequent. HSI, along with many other conservationists and wildlife rescuers, understand that we must do more to protect wildlife in the face of future disasters.
We commissioned BG Economics to conduct this study into the rescue and care of wildlife in the 2019-20 Black Summer bushfires to provide recommendations to be considered by all stakeholders as well as guide the development our growing disaster response program.
